these creations are born from moments of contemplation, reflections of a stillness that shaped my time spent in the furka region. they visually evoke the rugged beauty of the terrain, where shimmering shale and ancient granite trace their enduring presence across the landscape, inviting you to pause and dwell in the present, as if nature itself beckons you to rest.
though the seating forms may not seem immediately steady, they offer subtle points of balance—places that, once found, allow for surrender and ease, gently cradled by the harmony of the stones.
The ‘on-the-go’ variation carries with it a small toolkit, allowing the wanderer to gather nature’s scattered stones and sculpt their own resting place, a fleeting yet supported equilibrium, delicately sustained in the wild.
